A pro-US military gathering of another sort...

South Koreans gather Sunday, Jan. 19, 2003, in downtown Seoul, to show support for the United States and the military personnel stationed in the country. More than 40,000 braved the cold weather to chant slogans and listen to Christian leaders. (AP Photo/David Longstreath)

Found another (although the caption doesn't reveal that they are for the war, not against). I know of no other way to interpret the "Free Iraq, Let's Roll" poster.

Fabulous photo of demonstrating South Koreans. I was beginning to wonder if that little nation had forgotten the Americans who died defending their freedoms.

Here's a reason why the South Koreans support the US military in spite of what hipppies and communists would have us believe:

North Korean union members, youths and students hold a mass rally in support of a government statement declaring its withdrawal from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in a square in front of a monument to the party foundation in Pyongyang, North Korea (news - web sites) January 14, 2003. The top U.S. envoy for Asia said on January 16 that resolving the nuclear stand-off with North Korea would be a 'slow process' despite agreement around the globe that the Korean peninsula should remain free of atomic weapons.

I find it hard to believe this rally in support was even covered by the media.

Thanks for posting this. My Dad was in Korea; I'm so glad they haven't forgotten.
